Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks.

Two editions, two narrators, one thrilling story. Enjoy this version read by Jack Black, and then be sure to check out the other available version narrated by Samira Wiley.

The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the Number One New York Times best-selling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero - stranded in the world of Minecraft - who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive.

Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. 'Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks?' But there isn't much time to soak up the sun. It's getting dark, and there's a strange new world to explore!

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island...like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

In this world, the rules don't always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.

Loved listening to this with my nine year old

Jack Black is fantastic, and the story is well written, dramatic and quite funny in places. Enjoyed listening to this with my nine year old just as much as I enjoyed listening to my ‘grown up’ audiobooks!

Insane, I love it

This was one of the weirdest books I've read. A lot of it was very silly, but that was honestly incredibly fun. It was funny, and earnest. And it had Jack Black. There is no higher compliment anything can be payed.

Such an interesting take on Minecraft

Really cool concept for a book. The narrator had the perfect voice but seemed like he was toning it down and being purposefully monotone which is out of character for jack black.
